Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Use high-quality cocoa powder for deep chocolate flavor that truly stands out in the brownies.
Granulated Sugar: Sweetness is key here; it balances out the bitterness of cocoa and complements the tart raspberries.
All-Purpose Flour: This gives structure to your brownies while keeping them soft and chewy.
Large Eggs: Eggs add moisture and act as a binding agent, creating that fudgy texture we all crave.
Salt: A pinch enhances all the flavors without making your brownies taste salty.
Unsalted Butter: For richness and flavor; always use unsalted so you can control the saltiness.
Fresh Raspberries: Opt for ripe, juicy berries to ensure maximum flavor; frozen ones can work too if you’re in a pinch.
Powdered Sugar: For creating a sweet raspberry swirl topping that adds both flavor and elegance.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it Together
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Mixing the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, melt butter and cocoa together until smooth. Whisk until glossy and then add sugar followed by eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add Dry Ingredients : Gently fold in flour and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want our brownies fudgy!
Create Raspberry Swirl Mixture : In another bowl, mash fresh raspberries with powdered sugar until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
Assemble Your Brownies : Pour half of the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan. Spoon dollops of raspberry mixture over it before adding the remaining brownie batter on top.
Create Beautiful Swirls : Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl through the batter to create that beautiful marbled effect without mixing completely.
Bake to Perfection : Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs attached—not wet batter! Let cool before slicing into squares.
Now you can serve these delicious Raspberry Swirl Brownies at your next gathering or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here! Just remember… sharing is caring… most of the time! Enjoy every gooey bite as you relish both their rich chocolatey goodness and tangy raspberry twist!
